I personally love the Japanese Mario Pikachu exclusives and I would love to see them do more with other Nintendo or non Nintendo characters.
So my question is:
If you could pick just one character from the entire Nintendo franchise or another franchise to mash up with one Pokemon in an exclusive promo, who would you pick and why?
I would make a two card promo release. The first card would depict Jigglypuff drawing on Kirby’s face with marker while he sleeps and the second would be Jigglypuff holding onto its microphone as Kirby tries to suck it up.
Yeah, I have no idea why there isn’t a Pikachu-in-Link-costume card yet. Perhaps they were testing the waters (successfully, I might add) with the Super Mario ip, to later on unleash a whole slew of Pikachu-in-Nintendo-characters-costumes. A Link version would then be inevitable, I agree.
If they do make another crossover I hope they produce more stock, not entirely sure how many are actually available but I feel bad for fans that haven’t bought them yet and who can’t afford paying into the $100s for something modern and with such wide appeal.
I also kind of feel like they probably don’t want to saturate and homogenise the brand too much with other IPs, so I assume we won’t see a whole lot down the line (although hell who knows predictions don’t mean much these days).
Gotta say though, @churlocker 's idea of a Kirby/Jiggypuff pairing is sublime and I fully support it!
